- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1/2 pound boneless pork loin, cut into strips
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 (8 ounce) red pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- Whisk soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir pork in hot oil, stirring every few seconds, until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in the same wok over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and red bell pepper in the hot oil, until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Return pork to the wok, add soy sauce mixture; cook until garlic and ginger are tender and sauce is thick, about 1 minute.
